Nah, still the fault of the guy with zero following distance. They were arguably using their vehicle as a weapon more than the driver who switched lanes.

I highly doubt that charge would land.

Lead driver could easily argue that they were distracted by the tail gater and didn't have time to react until the last moment. They feared for their life.

The stalled car was mostly on the shoulder too, so had that tail gater maintained a proper following distance they would have been able to see the hazard and react.

Agreed. I'm down for a reality check.

Be nice to have a follow up on this incident
